How to reinstall Thunderbird

Question

I recently upgraded Ubuntu to 18.04 LTS. Since then Thunderbird has been adding strange images to the email list window.

How would I go about reinstalling Thunderbird while maintaining the email account settings that are already added?

Answer 1

The Thunderbird issue seems to be due to a missing dependency that allows printing emojis.

sudo apt install fonts-symbola

That should fix the issue.
